Ladies who flatiron roots

[dicapr]

I think that I want to start flatironing my roots twice a week after washing and conditioning and air drying my hair. My hair has gotten so thick that I a just 6 weeks after a touch up it's trying to channel all the big haired women of the 80's. I just want to cut down on the puffiness. Do you think this will slow my growth process if I just do the roots and leave the length and ends alone?

I used to do this and it worked out okay, but I have been heat free for a month and I really feel like my hair has thrived during that time period.

I have only used heat 4 times in the 5 months and my ends and hair have loved it. That's why I am kind of nervous about doing this. However, I do want to continue to look professional at work and somedays with all humidity in NC, my hair just looks puffy, big, and bad.

Any one else? I'm planning to try this starting when I wash my hair tonight.

I have been rollerseting and flatironing my roots twice a month and I havent had any setbacks. I started this last month,before I was flatironing once a month from root to tip and that really didnt do damage either. I do dust every two months VERY slightly.hth

Thanks. I'll start out slow. If I see any damage, the flat iron goes back into the drawer.
